Federal jury convicts ex-husband for hiding assets in divorce

LOS ANGELES – Vardan Keshishyan, a former officer of the Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for structuring $200,000 in cash to conceal assets during his divorce proceedings. A federal jury found Keshishyan guilty of two counts of structuring to evade federal reporting requirements.

In 2014, when Keshishyan's wife filed for divorce, he began withdrawing cash from bank accounts to deceive the state court into believing he only had $1,000 in assets.
